SCBWI Oregon’s professional series is here to help bring your writing and illustration skills to The Next Level. Whether you’re plotting a novel or perfecting a picture book, our TNL sessions can give you tools to advance your career. All levels of experience welcome.

We meet on the third Saturday of each month at Alongsiders Church located at 2830 NE Flanders in Portland. (You’ll love our new location!) Doors open at 2:15 pm, and speakers start at 2:30 pm. At 3:30 we’ll have a time for Q&A and/or book sales. The series runs from September 2019 through April 2020—except for December—but each session is different!

You can buy a pass for the whole series* or register for each individual event. (Passes are only available in the fall.)

SCBWI has a zero-tolerance policy against harassment of any kind. Any violation of this policy is actionable. Go here for more information.

Our new co-coordinators just took this project on the end of August. They are working as fast as they can to provide quality programming. We’ll be continuing to update this page, plus the individual events.
